Pesticides and the Law > Pesticides Label
The pesticide label is printed on or attached to the pesticide container. Because the label contains the information you must know to handle the pesticide in a safe, effective and legal manner, you need to read and understand the label before you buy or use the product.

- Be able to find and understand the label

Most labels can be found on the internet. Most States maintain a pesticide registration web site. The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection's (DATCP) pesticide registration site has many of the labels for the products available in Wisconsin. [Check it out]
